Rewatching "The Ninth Gate" and...

Wow. The foreshadowing on Balkan isn't subtle, and not in the way you'd think.

Here you have Boris Balkan, a publishing magnate as you'd only find in the late nineties, with what feels like a monopoly on the publication of books related to history, sociology and the etiological study of the occult. He's very much Mick Jagger's "Man of Wealth and Taste", minus the wit or charm - and he has his private collection set on a separate floor of his private multi-story penthouse. As you'd expect, he only deals in books related to or speaking of the Devil. Fair enough.

And you're telling me that this guy couldn't see past the obvious security risks of setting the passcode for his elevator and the passcode for his locked and likely temperature and humidity-controlled pressurized book-preserving chamber - to something as braindead-obvious as '666'.

If I'm Lucifer, this isn't the guy I want conversing with or representing me at the end of a massive and eye-opening wild goose chase involving old page-turners and eau-forte engravings. Right off the bat, if I have only Balkan and Corso as choices, I'm picking the heartless swindler who has enough sense to realize that attachments are dangerous in his business.

Y'see, armchair occultists have a bit of the ol' cryptophilia going on. They're interested in figuring stuff out - the why of it comes from various places. Balkan wants the Nine Gates for power, Liana Telfer thinks power's in what Aristide Torschia wrote in that book, the Baronness has honest intellectualism going for her but she's incredibly prideful about her attachment to her copy...

In the end, the only one who has a clear and ultimately disinterested motive for seeking the Ninth Gate is Corso - and that's after a path that led him from pointed self-interest to ravenous curiosity. Only Dean Corso ultimately has cryptophilia's purest expression.

Plus, I bet he's savvy enough that if you gave him Balkan's keypads, he'd have enough sense to pay a guy who actually knows a thing or two about security systems to design credentials that are randomly generated and that either cycle on a weekly basis or originate out of a new seed or hash for each iteration. If you've got a hard 3-symbol limit, like '666' and all 10 available characters in the numerical system, that gives you 720 possibilities.

Out of 720 possibilities, Boris Fucking Balkan went with '666'.

He deserves to burn. That's an amateur move if there ever was one. Besides, even if you really had to go for something evocative, you could pick at several other instances of demonic numerology that are a lot less mainstream, like '333' (the inversion of Christ's purported time of death, usually recorded around 15:30 in Military Time) or pick at "evil" numbers in the way the term is employed in number theory. In that sense, "evil numbers" are numbers that expand to even numbers of 1s, when rendered out in binary.

So, yes I've seen the movie a few times and read the book, but in retrospect, Balkan being positioned to more or less hoist himself by his own petard is fairly obvious.

Dean and Sam are like 2 sibling barn cats, tasked with hunting vermin to keep the farm safe and clean. They cuddle up and get into scuffles with each other in equal measure. Sam cat wants to go off and explore the world and the big city, and when Sam goes off alone for ages Dean gets prickly and sulky until Sam inevitably gets returned. Sam got caught once by animal control seemingly for good so Dean let himself get adopted into a nearby family and was an inside cat for a bit but it didn’t take once Sam got out.

Cas is the farm dog that roams the acres of property keeping predators away. The cats might hunt rats and mice near the barns but Cas scares off coyotes and bears when he has to. Dean cat doesn’t really get that Cas has a bigger scope than him tho, to Dean they have the same job and he adores Cas. If Cas were a cat he and Dean would be a bonded pair, and to Dean they are so Cas not being there to cuddle and snuggle and groom for hours is Cas being a poor bond mate. Cas on the other hand thinks of Sam and Dean as his pack of course but he can’t curl up in the barn with Dean all the time, he has miles of patrols to do as is his duty to the pack and he doesn’t get why Dean is upset he’s doing his job? Dean is an odd dog

anon, you have a fully realized AU! you should write a fic.

I drew dog!Cas and cat!Dean, I hope they match your vision.

#yay! an ask #Anonymous #supernatural #destiel #cas is a cane corso because they can take on bears #dean is a green eyed orangey cat #because people assume he's dumb #but he's just smart in unusual ways lol

dean motioned to the bartender, pointing to his drink asking for another one . raising the glass to liquor coated lips as his eyes glances to the red head . she'd been following him , he hardly had a reason not to be paranoid these days, there was always something - someone right behind him . a cloaked figure, a shadow, there was no such thing as sollitude anymore. and someone like this one ? she stood out, as blatant as a match in a dark room. it wasn't paranoia anymore, that notion that niggled in the corner of mind has long since passed, instead replaced with the want to face this head on.

once the drink is planted on the sticky, alcohol stained surface - he's picking it up, standing from the bar and moving to the corner booth, weaving in and out of the crowd, eyes never leaving the woman ; when he finally makes it over, he's slamming the glass down harshly in front of her, slipping opposite her.

TBOSAS on Crack ✨Character Info✨😌 (part 1)

⭐️❄️⭐️

For those who don’t know about my TBOSAS on Crack Alternative Universe, all you have to do is read [this] first to catch up. AND Part 2 is [here].

As for those who already read all my short takes before, here are some character ✨FACTS✨ about our favorite delinquents Mentors that are considered “Canon” in this joke!AU.

So let’s start with our ✨MAIN PROTAGONISTS✨ (AKA: Our four main idiot Mentors)

Coriolanus “Coryo” Snow ❄️ (AKA: The Poor Malnourish Looking Cabbage Boy From Corso)

Coryo knows 500+ different ways to cook cabbages and lima beans because of his irreversible childhood (war) traumas.

He secretly likes to trade his cabbages and beans at the Capitol Black Market for banned music albums that were produced centuries ago.

His favorite banned song is ✨Snow On The Beach✨😍!

Gardening, singing, sewing (because of Tigris), and surprisingly cooking are his favorite hobbies.

Drunk or not, Dean Casca Highbottom calls him ✨Crassus Xanthos Snow✨ no matter the occasion. However, it became a serious problem when Drunk!Casca literally thinks Coryo is Crassus (AKA: Highbottom’s former lover, drinking buddy, bestie boyfriend, & karaoke pal).

His favorite food is “whatever pie Ma Plinth bakes” for the Mentors that day. But the Plinth Apple Pie is the best pie.

He always likes it when Sejanus brings him extra sandwiches made by Ma Plinth.

Coryo and Sejanus were once the ✨Sandwich Duo✨ of their class. However, when Festus Creed joined and became their ✨Class Rep✨, he decided to rename them as the ✨Sandwich Trio✨.

Snow has a weird tendency to blame his broken bicycle every time he gets injured. Annoyingly, Sejanus has the same problem, but with a few extra steps.

He secretly wants to major in ✨Arts & Theatre✨ along with Felix Ravinstill, Gaius Breen, Juno Phipps, and Arachne Crane.

He once wanted to run for the position of ✨Class President✨. However, he and the rest of his classmates decided to vote for poor sensitive Felix because they just wanted to see another Ravinstill become the ✨President✨ of something.

Coryo can’t pass his physical examination no matter how hard he tries. According to the doctor, he’s just naturally thin and malnourish looking. In other words, he can’t become a Peacekeeper (much to Dean Highbottom’s frustration).🤣

He strongly believes that the Hunger Games could have been better and more popular if they recreated it into a ✨talent show✨ with a “no killing, no gore, no cannibalism” policy.

“HGASC” (The Hunger Games: Annual Singing Contest) was based on his stupid talent show idea in order to finally end the original version of the games. And also because he really wanted to win the Plinth Prize with his new best friend, Lucy Gray.

Coryo was the one who convinced the other Mentors to write and present their crazy paper proposal that will forever change the original concept of the games. And because everyone (even the Tributes) really wanted to shut up Livia Cardew and her stupid ✨Love Island✨ idea.

He is regrettably aware of his dead father’s past “affairs” with Dean Highbottom, especially the #Crasca4Ever ship that died years ago when Crassus married someone else not named Highbottom.

He once avoided getting a demerit and an expulsion letter from a very drunk Dean Highbottom by pretending to be the ghost of Crassus Snow.

He got hoodwinked (& borderline blackmailed) into seriously dating and marrying Sejanus after graduation by a scheming Strabo Plinth.

His crazy Grandma’am and cousin Tigris were quite thrilled to learn that their sweet Cabbage Boy will marry into money. And also because they won’t have to live in poverty anymore.

Coryo may deny it, but he actually came to genuinely love Sejanus & the rest of the SnowPlinth Fan Club. Their crazy ship even became the No. 1 trending news in all of Panem after their shameless stunt inside the Capitol Arena.

He accidentally and unknowingly made Strabo Plinth and Casca Highbottom mortal enemies, just because of their past romantic relationship with Crassus Snow.

His scheming grandmother is closely working with Strabo Plinth to secretly rule all of Panem under the ✨Plinth-Snow Dynasty✨😈.

He literally ✨gaslit✨ and ✨girlbossed✨ himself to become the next ✨First Lady of Panem✨ because of Sejanus.

Coryo only sees and considers Lucy Gray Baird as a good friend who likes music and nothing more. And because he was already apparently dating Sejanus Plinth.

He persuaded Lucy Gray to sing a duet version of ✨We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together✨ on the Lucky Flickerman LIVE TV Interview instead of whatever song she wrote for Billy Taupe. And yes, it was an outstanding performance and everybody loved it, except for Sejanus.

He really hates cannibalism and cannibals because of his war trauma, except for Persephone Price, just because she’s the girlfriend of Festus Creed.

Sejanus “Sej” Plinth 🥪 (AKA: The Very Rich Idiot Heir of Strabo Plinth)

He once bought a truck load of cabbages for Coryo’s family in order to impress him. Tigris was the only Snow who was genuinely happy that day. Meanwhile, Coryo fainted because of the smell.

The only reason why Sejanus learned to use a gun was because of his obsession to protect his beloved Coryo from future potential boyfriend stealing admirers.

Drunk!Casca Highbottom mistakenly calls him “Syllabus Plinth” than “Sejanus” every class roll call. Surprisingly, Sejanus never bothered correcting the Dean’s drunken mistake, because it might as well insult Strabo’s naming skills.

He got the most obvious humongous shameless crush on Coryo Snow since the day they first met. He also claimed that it was ✨love at first sight✨ after offering Coryo some gumdrops.

He is undeniably the richest student in The Academy next to Felix Ravinstill and Livia Cardew.

He almost persuaded his father to buy the penthouse next to the Snows (in order to live closer to Coryo). Luckily, Coryo begged him not to do such a thing because Arachne Crane’s family lives there (and because Arachne begged Coryo to talk Sejanus out of it).

He always brings an extra sandwich bag for his beloved Coryo to share with his friends. However, after meeting and befriending Festus Creed, he needs to at least bring a body bag full of sandwiches.

His favorite banned song is ✨Jenny, I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship✨😘.

Baking, bread throwing, and stalking Coryo are his favorite hobbies.

Not surprisingly, he was the first one who pursued and persuaded (hoodwinked) Coryo to become his official lover and fiancé. Strabo Plinth was even impressed that his idiot son “captured” a Snow.

He and Lysistrata Vickers were the ones who popularized and monetized the ✨Snowjanus✨ ship at The Academy.

Him and Dean Highbottom have an ongoing “shipping” rivalry, because Drunk!Casca genuinely thinks that Sejanus stole his lover (Crassus) from him. But to be fair, the Dean also hates Strabo Plinth for having a past romantic relationship with Coryo’s very dead dad.

He knows that his father, Strabo Plinth is secretly scheming with Coryo’s grandmother to rule all of Panem through the Plinth-Snow Dynasty. However, he doesn’t really care as long as his beloved Coryo is happily married to him.

Sejanus was actually the one who secretly locked Urban Canville in a bathroom stall to help Festus Creed win the ✨Class Representative✨ position.

He and Festus Creed are considered as the two greatest idiots of their class.

He once brought a rabid raccoon to Dr. Gaul’s class in order to scare her off. Unfortunately, it did not. Moreover, he actually impressed the insane woman instead.

In the Lucky Flickerman LIVE TV interview, he taunted and challenged Marcus into a ✨Dance Battle✨ to get sponsors.

He honestly got jealous of Lucy Gray and wanted to push her out of the way when Lysistrata told him that his beloved Coryo will sing a banned song with the weird Covey girl.

He strongly believes that the Hunger Games could have been recreated into a “Bake Off” between the Districts with a “no killing” policy.

He was the one who proposed the ✨Hunger Games: The Great Panem Bake Off✨ idea to the Board Officials and almost won their votes. He only got outvoted by Coryo’s ✨talent show✨ proposal because Marcus kept on complaining that half of the Tributes don’t even know how to bake a cake to save themselves.

His old dream/goal was for him to become a medic or doctor, but after officially dating Coryo, his new dream is to be the future ✨President of Panem✨

Lysistrata “Lizzie” Vickers 💊 (AKA: The Academy’s Secret Drug Smuggling Doctor)

She always uses the “My parents are famous doctors! I can do whatever I want!” card to get away with anything.

She is the Founder and President of the famous ✨SnowPlinth Fan Club✨ at The Academy.

Her classmates (except Palmyra Monty) always take her medical advice seriously. Even Livia Cardew can’t deny The Great Lizzie Vickers when it comes to health issues.

Felix Ravinstill teases her to become his personal physician in the future, since her parents are already working under his family.

Her dream/goal is to become the official physician of future President Sejanus and First Lady Coriolanus.😌💅

She and Sejanus were the ones who spread the ✨SnowPlinth✨ epidemic at The Academy.

Drunk!Casca Highbottom mistakenly calls her “Listerina Listerine Vickers” than “Lysistrata” every class roll call. Unsurprisingly, she doesn’t really care.

Her favorite banned song is ✨Bleeding Love✨.

Lizzie and Felix Ravinstill are considered to be the most responsible and well-prepared people out of their class.

Cooking, reading, and “Drug Experimenting” are her favorite hobbies.

She once attended President Ravinstill’s Winter Palace Party and stole all of the dessert spoons without anyone knowing. Afterwards, she sold them at the Capitol Black Market for some extra cash.

She was the one who proposed the idea that the Mentors should just play dumb in Dr. Gaul’s class in order to avoid her creepy grooming tendencies. Her idea eventually worked. However, Dr. Gaul now passionately hates them equally.

She likes to bring illegally manufactured drugs (AKA: ✨Miracle Pills✨) to school in the name of science.😈

At the zoo, she illegally smuggled the infamous “all-cure” ✨Miracle Pills✨ for Felix Ravinstill and Dennis Fling, just because their Tributes were sick and dying from respiratory related illnesses.

In the Lucky Flickerman LIVE TV Interview, She and Jessup performed an 80s aerobics dance routine. And yes, she got Jessup to wear tight spandex, lycra, and flexatards.

She is secretly a crybaby and would easily tear up if she sees an injured stray cat, but only Sejanus, Coryo, and Festus knows about that fact.

Lizzie is part of the Dean’s infamous list of students who would most likely become criminals if they weren’t rich AF. The only other Mentors who outranked her in that list are Sejanus Plinth (for stealing Casca’s boyfriend), Coryo Snow (for emptying the school’s food pantry), Androcles Anderson (for being a professional kleptomaniac), Dennis Fling (for smuggling and trading illegal “goods” at school), Iphigenia Moss (for slowly depleting the class funds to buy expensive makeup), and Palmyra Monty (for almost killing everyone at school with her family’s infamous deadly apple pies).

She supports Festus’ crazy idea to recreate the Hunger Games into a cooking show with a “no killing” policy.

Much to Lizzie’s surprise, Jessup (from District 12) was the only Tribute who rejected Festus Creed’s cooking show proposal, just because he can’t cook to save his pride, especially on LIVE TV.

Festus “Fest” Creed 🍔 (AKA: The Original Dumpster-Diving Idiot Foodie of The Capitol)

He likes to collect free food coupons for fun. And sometimes, he, along with Coryo and Pup would even shamelessly dumpster-dive for them after school.

He was originally the only idiot of the class, until Sejanus and him became good friends thanks to Coryo Snow’s involvement.

Eating, sleeping, and dumpster-diving are his favorite hobbies.

His favorite banned song is ✨We Can’t Stop✨🥳.

The Peacekeepers once warned him not to dumpster-dive (again) for garbage, just because his peculiar activities greatly disturbed his neighbors. However, he threatened them back by using Felix Ravinstill’s ✨nepotism✨ and family connections.😂

Everyone believes that he will eventually fail Dr. Gaul’s class, just because of how naturally stupid he acts around her.

He once told Professor Click that he lost his very important assignment through a double bike accident with Coryo Snow. However, nobody believed his weak and stupid excuse because he doesn’t even know how to ride a freaking bicycle.

He has the most obvious humongous crush on Persephone Price since they entered The Academy together. Moreover, he doesn’t really care about the “Maid Stew” rumors because “food is food” according to the Creed house words.

He will literally support and even fund the presidential campaign of Sejanus and Coryo, just because he wants to eat Ma Plinth’s divine cooking.

Drunk!Casca Highbottom mistakenly calls him “Fetus Creed” than “Festus” every class roll. He tried to correct the Dean, but Highbottom won every argument by blaming the Creeds for giving their son a stupid name.

In the Lucky Flickerman LIVE TV Interview, He begged Coral to do a mixed martial arts routine with him as her partner. Coral eventually agreed after watching a “Cobra Kai” banned video clip from his phone. They even wore the Cobra Kai uniform (made by Tigris) to impress the audience.

He likes to give a ✨Surprise Festus Bear Hug✨ to his fellow unsuspecting Mentors. Everyone (but Livia Cardew🙄💅) is fine with his hugging shenanigans.

He truly believes that a ✨competitive cooking show✨ on LIVE TV is better than Highbottom’s “killer kids game” because it will eventually revolutionize Panem’s food industry.

He confidently proposed and defended his ✨Hunger Games: TOP CHEF✨ idea (with a “no killing” policy) to the Board Officials. In the end, he came in third after Coryo’s and Sejanus’ proposals.

He also proposed another idea called ✨The Hunger Games: Keeping Up With The Ravinstills✨ much to everyone’s amusement.

Basically, his second proposal will follow the crazy luxurious life of the current President’s family members and make them more dramatic for all of Panem to enjoy. Meanwhile, Felix was seen sweating and quaking on his seat when he heard that Creed’s second crazy idea almost won by a small margin.

He tried to learn how to somersault with Coral as his instructor, but failed and almost broke his back. Surprisingly, he doesn’t regret the experience after seeing Coral and Mizzen laughing and choking on their own salivas after the incident.

Festus has collected more damaging secrets from his classmates than Livia Cardew and Arachne Crane could ever imagine. However, he doesn’t know how to use them for blackmail purposes.

He only won the position of ✨Class Representative✨ because Sejanus deliberately locked Urban Canville in a bathroom stall.

He is aware that he answers questions without thinking too much of it. Heck! He once stupidly proposed to make The Academy the new Hunger Games Capitol Arena (as a joke) after the failed bomb explosion incident. Dr. Gaul and Dean Highbottom very much wanted to strangle him that day.

Dean Highbottom regrettably gave up on officially expelling Festus from The Academy, just because no matter how many times the Creed kid received a demerit for breaking the rules, he still has the audacity to show up and attend his classes like nothing happened.

He will eventually challenge Tigris Snow to an epic dance battle in order to secure his position as the official ✨Best Man✨ at Coryo and Seji’s royal wedding.

The Ninth Gate (1999)

Dir. Roman Polanski

Dean Corso (Johnny Depp) specializes in tracking down rare and exotic volumes for collectors. Boris Balkan (Frank Langella) has recently acquired a seventeenth-century satanic text called The Nine Gates- a legendary book written by Satan himself. With The Nine Gates in his possession, Corso soon finds himself at the center of strange and violent goings-on. Not only is his apartment ransacked, it appears that he is being shadowed ferociously by others determined to regain the book.

Around his Birthday, Dean got a cockapoo puppy from Giovanni, to help him settle and feel a bit more ease on the rough days. He loved her on the spot, and he named her Coco.

She's a sweetheart, loves to play, and bothers her big brother, Vincenzo all the time. (Vin is Giovanni's dog who is a Cane Corso)

"The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," Chapter 1

Part I: The Mentor

Chapter 1. Snow has cabbage. He's worried about his shirt. Tigris comes to the rescue. He insults his grandmother's singing ability. Grandman gives him a rose. He goes to the Academy. Sejanus warns of impending taxes. Dean Highbottom gives him the distrcit 12 girl.

Thoughts:

-- I decided to play a game. Let's see how many sentences into Snow's internal dialogue I can go before I roll my eyes at him. I toyed with the idea of saying it was when he refers to "district scum" which is the first paragraph but it's not a whole sentence. So it's the first full sentence on the second page, "Only one thing — herself — and the house of Snow had not yet fallen that far." Pretentious and insulting to his cousin.

-- It doesn't sound like the war was unusually bad. Not that any war is fun, but for the Districts to be punished for 76 years for their "crime" it doesn't sound like they did a genocide or war crimes or anything like that. People in the Capitol are so dramatic.

Quotes:

Everyone had learned to despise waste. It was creeping back into fashion, though. A sign of prosperity, like a decent shirt.

That doesn't last.

He reached for the rose, but a thorn pierced his palm in the shaky exchange. Blood welled from the wound, and he held his hand out to keep it from staining his precious shirt. His grandmother seemed perplexed.

Blood and roses. (Also, like, come on, Coryo. Did you not know roses had thorns? I know your grandmother is a pill but this is not the thing you should be upset about.)

His front door opened onto the Corso, an avenue so wide that eight chariots had comfortably ridden side by side on it in the old days when the Capitol had put on displays of military pomp for the crowds. Coriolanus could remember hanging out the apartment windows as a young child, party guests bragging that they had front-row seats to the parades.

Do the chariots of the Tribute Parade go down the Corso? I'm a bit confused about the geography of the Capitol.

With this in mind, for the first time the tributes were to be assigned mentors. Twenty-four of the Academy’s best and brightest seniors had been tapped for the job. The specifics of what this entailed were still being worked out.

We are not told whose idea it was to pair the teenagers of the Capitol with teenagers of the Districts. Given the life or death stakes, I would expect some Capitol teens to feel bonded to their Tribute, as Coryo will (even if it's not necessarily romantic for all of them). So what am I am wondering is if this was designed to upset the future generation of leaders--possibly to stop the Games (in which case I'd guess it's Highbottom's idea) or if it is a test to see who will be the most ruthless (in which case it's probably Gaul's idea). I guess it could be both. Later it says Highbottom is "overseeing" it "personally" so maybe it was his idea?

For Coriolanus, the Plinths and their kind were a threat to all he held dear. The newly rich climbers in the Capitol were chipping away at the old order simply by virtue of their presence.

In the first chapter of The Hunger Games, Katniss's little sister is chosen to die. By contrast, Coryo's big problems are his shirt and Sejanus being a rich upstart. Oh and later, he doesn't want to pay taxes--that's a big escalation of his problems. Again, it's very hard for me not to roll my eyes at him, as I may have mentioned.

Sejanus had arrived on the school playground ten years ago, a shy, sensitive boy cautiously surveying the other children with a pair of soulful brown eyes much too large for his strained face. When word had gotten out that he’d come from the districts, Coriolanus’s first impulse had been to join his classmates’ campaign to make the new kid’s life a living hell.

Lots of kids are mean to other kids and they grow out of it. It's not that Coriolanus is remarkably good or bad here. He's just pretentious and kind of a dick. But like a regular jerk. The kind who becomes a finance bro or a tech startup. Not necessarily evil dictator level stuff. He's super basic in a way.
